anybody know??

hello everyone!! and a big Hug to everyone!! I havent been on much and miss you all greatly!!

I just got a letter from my sweetie and he said that everyone in with him is jealous...he gets a letter everyday...and they have asked him to ask me if I can find any pen pals for these guys. Do any of you know how I can find out about that for them. I cant imagine not getting any mail ever. But I suppose there are some that live that way.

The only free sights usually are the ministry sights. There are a lot of paid sights, you just have to google prison pen pal sights, or try to google free prison pen pal sights. Check over at Prison Talk thats the hugest sight on the net, also there was at one time a snail mail sight, but I don't remember the name, nor can I find it. Hope this helps?

I agree with mamabear. I feel for those guys mail is something to look forward to and alot of guys hardly ever get mail, that has to suck! That is very nice of you to try and find someone for these guys to write to! Kudos

I know a Christian guy that does this on his own for some prisoners. Contact me if you want his info. I think it's easier on pen pals to help more people if the family pays postage (I have them email my brother and then I print and send) but that's not always possible I know.

I'm thinking of getting into that more once my brother is out and my resources aren't all going to him...but I'm more interested in sending stuff to occupy them (jokes, puzzles, maybe an encouraging note, etc) than personal letters.

Chrissy,
I am with mama, if you want to find these guys penpals, do it through a ministry or the net. Take a look back at Christmas time, here. Some of the girls did a little &quot;penpal/Christmas card&quot; thing and it back- fired. Unfortunately, not all the guys in the jails and prisons are, as good of guys, as ours. Their cellies got hold of return addresses and wrote very inappropriate things to people that were trying to help. God bless.

thank you everyone for all your help and ideas. I know that some on here had a bad experience and I am not trying to have anyone exposed to that. Just hoping to find a site where people who want to write inmates can. I appreciate all the ideas and have passed them on.

James once asked me to find his cellie a penpal because he was jealous and lonely. Then he found out the guy was married with kids. I know it sounds horrible but some of those guys just want a penpal to coax money out of them for their books. James tells anyone else who asks no. Be careful.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
